As a guy who enjoys off-roading, overlanding, and camping, I'm both intrigued and irritated by the new Land Cruiser. šŸ¤”

Lots of great features here, but I don't know if I'd want to be going over rocks in the middle of nowhere with a massive battery tucked into the rear of the chassis. It also adds complexity.

It's Alive!
My new Lemmy instance 4WD.social is up and running.
The goal is to host Lemmy community alternatives to some great outdoor recreation focused Subreddits.
Three communities are live today:
- Overlanding;
- 4x4; and
- DJI drones

If there are other thematically aligned communities you'd like to see created please message me here.

Spotted: A heavily-modified . It has a Cummins diesel engine and a highly custom gear train. I donā€™t really understand what all those levers do. The owner says they provide ridiculous gear ratios for rock crawling, and independently-selectable front, rear axle power, or 4WD.

During my recent multi-week camping adventure, I allowed myself ONE synth.

It was the ASM Hydrasynth. Why? (I don't actually hear you ask...)

Well, it's terribly powerful and I rarely use it. Maybe I don't KNOW it well enough? What magic is lurking in those digitally aliased cracks and crevasses?

So I spent 3 weeks alone with the Hydra and this is the first thing I created with it...

Yesterday I took some friends up Hell's Backbone Bridge.

This is not Hell's Backbone Bridge. We didn't make it.

Luckily, we carry a sat messenger. Unluckily, the only tow truck in town is out of commission.

Luckily again, our buddy helped pull out or 3/4 ton with his lexus.

We had to build a guardrail with logs to prevent going over.

This is the same spot we got stuck in a few months ago

Time for a winch.

Having decided not to visit Zion NP during our upcoming Utah trip, of course we won the Angels Landing hike lottery.

Hereā€™s the 3D model of the slide Iā€™m planning for my rig (truck). All materials are purchased; just gotta set aside the time.

Iā€™m awfully tempted to add a stove drawer, but thatā€™d require more work and materials. Probably better to start with just the refrigerator and iterate from there.

What are the chances of meeting another UAZ in southern ? And even more, on this kind of remote, campsite?Yesterday, suddenly Narda from the Netherlands showed up with her . She is traveling from Walvis Bay to Malawi. What a surprise. Safe trip! So nice meeting you.

After six months looking for the ā€œperfectā€ solar power station for my rig (truck), I decided to just build my own. Itā€™ll be fairly simple, consisting initially of:

- 1x 50Ah LiFePO4 battery from Dakota Lithium
- 1x panel-mount combination USB QC3.0 and USB Type-C QC4.0 charger
- 1x panel-mount cigarette lighter socket
- 1x panel-mount digital volt meter
- 1x power switch/circuit breaker

All in a simple Norco snap-top battery box.

This is the Firebomb Edition of the GWM Cannon: a limited edition version of a Chinese pickup that already gets quite a lot of press internationally. This edition features a lift, new wheels and tyres, a revamped grill, wheel arches, and roof rack. The snorkel is included as standard in the regular Off-Road edition (as far as I know).

The Cannon is a fascinating truck that unfortunately isn't available in the UK. It sits somewhere between a mid-size and full-size truck, and is powered by a typical small turbo diesel engine, which delivers between 163 to 224 hp and ample low-end torque - in line with other mid-size trucks.

ā€žWelcome to Zambiaā€œā€¦ Well, we instantly got bribed by the loitering police, for not having a fire estinguisher and only 1 triangle on board: 300 Kwatchas, or just leave something on the table. Nice folks, anyway. Had a good laugh afterwards. Iā€˜ve let them search my license for some minutes, although they had already given it back to me šŸ˜‡. Was worth the bribe.

I finally saw a Defender 130 on the road today and I REALLY like it! Other than this one car most of the Euro market has a total lack of practical extra long wheelbase SUVs like Suburbans or Expeditions, heck we donā€™t even get Nissan Patrols or Toyota LC300s! So this stands alone as the 3 rows of seats, larger cargo capable SUV here and I love it for itā€¦ now, if only it could cost Ā£20k lessā€¦ Or Isuzu please release an extra long wheelbase MU-X šŸ˜‰

Along the Skeleton Coast. Remains of some whale along the way. Extreme weather phenomenon: There is an invisible division between 15Ā°C Benguela cooled air, and 35Ā°C hot air from the desert, and that division is only 10m wide! Weā€˜re getting fried and frozen within seconds.
